| 141528 | 2003-05-05 05:51:00 | I eventually got around to downloading open office...and its a brilliant peice of software... but its taking up space on my hdd....and i wanna know is it worth having, as i also have microsoft office xp on my system...OR...is it possible to have it on a cd that i can actually run the program off the cd when i use it sometimes...without having to install it on my hdd... |

| 141529 | 2003-05-05 05:55:00 | it should give you that option when you install it, it depends on how much it writes itself into the registry, you may be able to copy its program directory onto a cd and find the executable to run it and create a shortcut to it on your desktop or start menu try copying the programe folder for it to a different location on your hard drive and run the executable then, if the program works then you will be able to run it from a CD |

| 141531 | 2003-05-05 06:58:00 | I usually have both installed. I'd probably stick to OpenOffice.org if it wasn't for the few people that insist on sending stuff in a .doc instead of using the much more version friendly rtf format. Also OpenOffice.org doesn't have Access support. |
